‘TipsforJesus’ Leaves Thousands Of Dollars For Servers

Someone or someones are using the @tipsforjesus Instagram account has been doing “the Lord’s work, one tip at a time.”

On Sept. 8, an @tipsforjesus Instagram account posted the first photo verifying its mission, capturing the image of a receipt for Bar Louie in Ann Arbor, Mich., where they left a $3,000 tip for an $87.98 tab. The account posted two more receipt photos the next day, one featuring a $5,000 tip, the other showing a receipt with a $7,000 tip held by a grinning man, confirmed to be the co-owner of Alley Bar in Ann Arbor. Both of the receipts were signed, “@tipsforjesus.”

That same day, tipsforjesus also posted a screenshot of an ABC 4 Utah article about a “mysterious” tipper who left thousands of dollars in tips in Ogden, Utah, this August, with the photo description “#tipsforjesus.”

The account has remained active ever since, continuing to leave tips of over $1,000 in bars and restaurants in cities like San Francisco and Chicago. And although tipsforjesus has received numerous comments of praise, and some of skepticism, the account has continued to keep its user’s identity a secret.

The only clue that follows the generosity is the account’s love of college football. The signed receipts consistently show up in college town establishments on game days and include sentiments such as “Fight On!” Restaurant employees who have received the tips in Ogden, Utah, and Ann Arbor, Mich., say the anonymous person uses an American Express Centurion Card, more commonly known as the Black Card.
